My father is 89 and is very short of breath and has trouble walking even short distances. I don’t want him to have heart surgery but what else can I do?
• First, make an appointment with his primary care physician to find out the cause of his shortness of breath. After the cause and possible treatments have been determined, if he needs help at home you can contact VNA Health Care for assistance. If he needs a primary care physician you can contact the Hartford Hospital Physician Referral Service.
